The sword in his hand slowly fell straight down, and the guard fell helplessly a meter away from Wan Qiyan.
More than a dozen assassins dressed in black robes with cold expressions rushed in from outside; it was immediately obvious that they were not from the Southern Kingdom.
In the blink of an eye, all the fighting in the palace was brought under control. At this moment, a tall and majestic figure came in against the light, like a god.
He You slowly stepped into the bedchamber, his face expressionless. This was the first time he had seen his biological father, yet he remained calm and composed.
He remained neither humble nor arrogant, and said in a cold voice, "What do I have to worry about? I pay my respects to Your Majesty."
"My child, my orphan's child~" Wan Qiyan cried out hoarsely. The word "commoner" weighed heavily on his heart. It was all his fault, everything was his fault!
He struggled to walk toward He You, but as soon as he stood up, he felt unsteady on his feet, his vision went black, and he collapsed.
"Your Majesty~"
...
A flicker of panic crossed He You's eyes, but he quickly suppressed it, then stood with his hands behind his back, his tone authoritative and domineering: "Those who resist will be killed without exception."

He You walked toward Gao Zheng with a fierce expression, his eyes dark and unfathomable, as if he were looking at prey.
Gao Zheng was utterly terrified, collapsing to his knees and sobbing, "Don't kill me, please, don't kill me..."
He You suddenly lost interest; his Nan Nan didn't like him killing people, so be it.
He coldly ordered, "Anyone found to have betrayed the party will have their entire family, including nine generations of their relatives, executed!"

Gao Zheng was instantly terrified and let himself be dragged out.
No~ no~
His shrill laughter rang out, "I am the emperor now, hahaha~ I am the emperor, you all kneel down, hahaha..."
The sound faded into the distance until it disappeared completely.
He You stood solemnly beside Wan Qiyan's bed, his eyes dim.
Wan Qiyan slowly opened his eyes after a short while, and what came into view was his son whom he had been thinking about day and night.
It looks so much like it!
He looks just like his Hyun-jung! Those eyes, that nose, everything about him is so similar, with such beautiful features like Ah-jung…
Tears streamed uncontrollably down his face. He never imagined he would live to see his and Ah Zhen's child. He felt he had no regrets in this life.
He spoke in a hoarse voice, "It is my father who has wronged you and your mother, causing her to die at the hands of villains, but this was not my intention..."
My thoughts drifted back to more than twenty years ago.
